Abstract

The present study attempts to identify the various determinants of Quality of Work Life (QWL), and the level of QWL among the veterinary doctors of Punjab. The factor analysis of 45 variables yielded 13 job characteristics of which ‘Monetary Consideration’, ‘Social Relations at Work’, ‘Constitutionalism at Work’, ‘Pride in Job’, ‘Facilitation for Current Performance and Future Growth’, ‘Security and Safety’, ‘Fair and Unbiased Attitude of Top Officials’, ‘Space and Infrastructure’, ‘Diagnostic Facilities and Staff’ and ‘Reporting’, have been found associated positively and significantly with QWL. ‘Nature of Job’ has been found negatively and significantly related with QWL, whereas ‘Innovative and Challenging Job’ and ‘Less Educated and Ignorant Clients’ have not been found linked with QWL. The respondents were found to experience moderate to high levels of QWL.
